More houses of tribal Garos in three villages- Chigisim, Khasigagra and Chitugona were torched Saturday night by their rival Rabha tribesmen. “Curfew was re-imposed in entire Resulbepara sub-division after fresh arsons in Goalpara and tension along the Assam-Meghalaya border,” East Garo Hills District deputy commissioner Pravin Bakshi said. On Saturday, curfew was relaxed for six hours as the situation was limping back to normalcy. The influential Garo Students’ Union asked the centre to institute a commission of inquiry into the ethnic conflict between Garo and Rabhas tribes that has left eight deaths along the Assam-Meghalaya border. The violence displaced some 30,000 people who fled their homes since the New Year’s Day. The tribal student body also appealed to the people of Meghalaya not to shelter United Liberation Front of Asom and Rabha rebels who have “fuelled the current ethnic violence” along the Meghalaya-Assam border.“Garos in particular and the people of Meghalaya in general should not to allow and give shelter to Rabha militants and ULFA in any part of Meghalaya,” Rondon K Momin, the GSU leader said.Meanwhile, union minister of state for rural development Agatha K Sangma Sunday expressed the need for more central paramilitary forces to be deployed in the riot-hit areas of Meghalaya. However, secretary Internal Security U. K Bansal had informed Agatha that Meghalaya director general of police S.B. Kakati said “Meghalaya did not require any more central forces.”But when the Union minister cross-checked, Kakati replied that he was not aware that three companies of central forces have been withdrawn from Meghalaya for deployment in Assam. Seven companies of paramilitary forces-- four CRPF and three BSF apart from hundreds of State Police personnel have been deployed in the riot-hit areas in East Garo Hills to maintain law and order. Earlier, Agatha held telephonic conversations with home secretary, G. K Pillai, secretary Internal Security U. K Bansal, chief secretaries and DGPs of Assam and Meghalaya over the urgent need to maintain law and order in the bordering areas of the state.
